Vin Diesel is a dinosaur hunter in Ark II | Ark II Cinematic Trailer Analysis and Preview (2021)
650Ark: Survival Evolved is returning for a sequel with Ark 2, starring Fast and Furious actor Vin Diesel. The news was announced today during The Game Awards with a trailer. Diesel will play a character named Santiago.
Ark: Survival Evolved was released in 2017 by Studio Wildcard. In the action-adventure game, players find themselves stranded on on a dinosaur-filled island. The developer also announced an animated series featuring the voices of Michelle Yeoh, Jeffrey Wright, Elliot Page, Russell Crowe, Gerard Butler, and more. Diesel will play a part in the show as well.
It’s always exciting to see a big-name actor involved in a video game, whether it’s Norman Reedus in Death Stranding or Dave Bautista in Gears 5. Perhaps Studio Wildcard working with Vin Diesel is simply a happy accident – the actor is known to be a big nerd who’s enjoyed videogames and a good game of DnD for years. According to Microsoft, he’s simply a fan of Ark, with a playtime of roundabout 1000 hours – a median time for the community.
Vin Diesel will do more than act in Ark 2, though – he’s listed as Studio Wildcard’s “President of Creative Convergence”. This mouthful of a title is likely an amalgamation of the two roles Diesel fulfills for the studio. On one hand, he’s the executive producer for Ark 2, but he also executive produces the upcoming Ark animated series.
"He understands the game intimately and is providing direct feedback to the development process," Studio Wildcard says. Apparently, that also involves logging bugs in Ark. It’s not clear how heavily involved he is with the game, but it’s fair to say Vin Diesel is a game developer now.
Ark 2 is an Xbox Series X|S console launch exclusive. If things go the way they did with Survival Evolved, this will also include PC, (possibly Xbox Game Pass at launch) before a PS5 version will eventually follow. Microsoft also points out that Ark 2 will be optimized for Xbox Series X|S.
